Someone in the marina gave away a weighted blanket. Those things are so freakin' heavy...!
I washed it today, and with the weight of the water in it I could barely heave it back onto Pino to dry it. Couldn't hang it up, just draped it over the bow.

Even when dry, I tried folding it to put it away and it was so hard XD...

@rek maybe what we picked up is a lead blanket from a dentist's office..

@neauoire @rek This will be useful if you sail beyond desolation sound into fallout sound

Threw the heavy bundle in the quarter berth, near the back of the boat. We're a bit heavy in the bow atm so it'll maybe help to correct that XD!

@rek what a find!

I'm so light in the stern I've half considered throwing cinder blocks back there for the lulz. hopefully foodstuffs helps weigh down all the lost weight from the diesel engine and fridge...

@klardotsh you said you had a water tank aft no? If so, that'll help too :>.

@rek there's also one under the v-berth too 😬 unsure the relative sizes of each (given that neither of us trust that oem picture I sent you lol. I have a hose flow meter onboard I think... ordered one on Amazon over the winter....)

@rek Weighted blankets are extremely good. Basically cancels before-sleep anxiety for me. I don't struggle with that anymore but it's also just a fall-asleep accelerator. Just be mindful about how you fold your shoulders.
